Pay to play

How many people would actually pay to play this game? I wouldn't.

Thus it is free to play.. for the time being.

This thread is not going to turn nice lol.

As much as I dislike the game, I would probably pay for it just so I don't have my account set unactive or something. But I still dont play.

Criteria for me to pay to play:

1) Battle revamp is complete
2) Class/job system is implemented and working
3) Good content begins to be implemented
4) It feels like a Final Fantasy

I would pay to play this game right now. The way I see it I'm saving hundreds of dollars a month by choosing to play this MMO instead of buying games that I can solve in a few days to a week. I get way more enjoyment out of this game also because of the social aspect. Why would anyone play now if they weren't willing to pay for it in the future anyway? It seems like a waste to play a game that you build a character on and then scrap it because you don't want to pay a monthly fee.

As soon as they can fix their technical problems and announce what they're going to do regarding core gameplay changes, I'd be more than willing.

Yes indeed, I mean lets look at prime examples of this, if you were playing RIFT you'd at least be paying about $600 a month to play it - and then there's the elephant WoW which can cost up to $2899.99 a month! I sure am glad I can play this for free.

I would. I legitimately enjoy this game and the community I am in on my server. I like where the game is headed and that's enough for me.

Mack, he's not talking about other MMOs. If you play and buy lots of console games you end up spending a lot of money on games you can finish in a week or less most times. Gamefly ftw!

I would. Especially after Female Roegadyn are Implemented with the PS3 version release.

After the new battle system and companies are live, polished, and as bug free as possile I would happily pay a monthly fee.
SE making money on this game is a good thing for everyone.

I would, but that's because the main things I'm looking for, questing and storyline, is fairly implimented, if a little bare bones. I don't think a lot of people would pay just yet. They'll need to have the battle system and dungeons finished at least.

I think SE should implement "pay if you want to" for the time being. People that pay get an icon on the these forums to identify them and in the game they get content first. Paying testers if you will. In my experience this will weed out all the negative people that have nothing constructive to say. Just repeat "make it like FFXI", or "in WoW".

Thoughts?

While I personally like your idea :) , it's the people not willing to pay that SE needs to fix things for.

This game, while it still needs work, is better than it was when it was released. If they started doing P2P I would pay for it and as long as they continued to fix it then I'd be happy.

Unprofessional and the media would slam it as desperate.

To me when this game goes pay to play is telling me "Hey look the game is done now come and play and check it out" too then am not even going to play ffxiv i reroll my char and now waiting for the game to get good so i can join the game and play it from the level my char is now which is 12.

The game in my opinion will be pay worthy when the following happens

1) The add all the company related content
2) They open up at least half of the locked zones
3) They add endgame
4) They do the class/armory changes
5) They add about 2-3 times more side quest, at the current pace that should only be 2-3 months.
6) They add more missions and class quest
7) They add chocobos and transportation
8) They add an AH or make the wards work
9) They fix all the crashing bugs and stiff
10) They add seek party feature like XI
11) They add more Faction Leves
12) They add Dungeon and Instanced content

Once all those things are done the game is release worthy in my opinion and ready to charge people.

You wont need number 3 everything else yes not every game that come out have Endgame from the start so we wont have any endgame to they release a new pack which would bring at least 3 new class with it.

What every they release now as "Endgame" will be obsolete when they raise the level cap which they said multiple times pre-alpha they would do eventually that they had it planned to atleast eventually be level 99.

That is worth paying alone in my opinion lol, but yes couldn't agree more with the above statements.

I kind of feel I should be paid to play currently.

Once more content is added and if it keeps my interest, I would pay to play. Currently though, no way.

If you ask me honestly. I would not
Now when they overwrited my 30crafters with NMs, all stored material by retainers became junk literally. Ya I can throw all of that away, all what I can create from rank 30 to 40, is dropped by NM in insane rate. This made me upset a bit, because it took half year to me, to make crafters where they are. I am dissapointed with unballance how new NMs all overworld with 2min pop rate took majority over r20-40 crafting and gathering. I wouldn't pay, this small thing is big one for me. Again it changed my opinion at game. + Many other flaws in UI and what game is missing so much - is "What to do?" Content in short.
